Pietro Frua?

Pininfarina
Zagato
Vignale
Giannini
Bertone
Ital Design/Giugiaro
Boano
Boneschi
Fissore

There's a well-known Italian coachbuilder that hasn't been mentioned yet.

Tjaarda?

Wendax · « **Reply #56 on:** July 08, 2014, 09:19:51 AM »

Touring?

oko94 · « **Reply #57 on:** July 08, 2014, 09:26:40 AM »

Tjaarda : no
Touring : YES !

That was the easy part

Now look for the designer, the project name and the year.

Wendax · « **Reply #58 on:** July 08, 2014, 09:52:03 AM »

1966 for the year?

oko94 · « **Reply #59 on:** July 08, 2014, 09:55:55 AM »

Not 1966. And you're quite far from the answer.

Louis de Fabribeckers ?

oko94 · « **Reply #61 on:** July 08, 2014, 02:34:47 PM »

Louis de Fabribeckers wasn't born when the puzzle's car was designed

Arunas · « **Reply #62 on:** July 08, 2014, 03:36:30 PM »

Aldo Sessano?

4popoid · « **Reply #63 on:** July 08, 2014, 03:46:58 PM »

Carlo Anderloni from about 1952?

oko94 · « **Reply #64 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:19:51 PM »

Aldo Sessano was not involved.

Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni was the head of Touring when the puzzle's car was designed, but he was not its designer.

1952 is correct !

Arunas · « **Reply #65 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:39:13 PM »

Revelli?

oko94 · « **Reply #66 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:41:54 PM »

Not Mario Revelli di Beaumont

Arunas · « **Reply #67 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:47:02 PM »

Dumb guess,.but Giugiaro?

oko94 · « **Reply #68 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:49:52 PM »

Not Giugiaro. He was only 14 in 1952, and this car hasn't been designed by a youngster.

4popoid · « **Reply #69 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:53:31 PM »

Might this be a concept drawing for the Hudson X-161 (a four door variant of the Hudson Italia coupe) designed by Frank Spring?

oko94 · « **Reply #70 on:** July 08, 2014, 04:59:14 PM »

No, no relation with that car or that designer.

Remember the hint I gave earlier : "it was indeed the first car designed by the designer you have to find". It will take you further than you think.

barrett · « **Reply #71 on:** July 09, 2014, 07:22:41 AM »

It's a design for an Alfa Romeo by Gio Ponti for Touring, 1952-54

oko94 · « **Reply #72 on:** July 09, 2014, 07:36:28 AM »

Excellent ! Just give me the name of the project and you'll get a point.

LOCKED for barrett

barrett · « **Reply #73 on:** July 09, 2014, 05:32:31 PM »

No mention of a project name in the book which covers this car, but it seems it was known as the 'Diamante'

oko94 · « **Reply #74 on:** July 10, 2014, 02:56:09 AM »

It's also known as "Linea Diamante". Anyway, you deserve your point !
